Once a upon a time, there was a little purple sweater for a precious little girl who lives far, far away.  It was supposed to look like this (pattern from a book chrisknits sent me as a prize a long time ago)… with little daisies stitched on after the knitting is complete.  But, once it … Continue reading →

I’ve been busy.  But you don’t really care what’s kept me busy.  I don’t even care what’s kept me busy, because it’s finished.  So, I’ll just get straight to the posting again.  Fasten your seatbelts, it might be a long one. My mom’s first knitting project was a Christmas stocking for my first cousin.  She … Continue reading →

When you’re working your butt off.  Okay, so it doesn’t really fly, but I didn’t realize how long it had been since I had posted.  Last week was a major thesis deadline so I spent every night working on it.  It was also a busy week at work (when is it not lately) so my … Continue reading →

It has been cloudy here for over a week.  Yesterday, it seriously rained for 12 hours straight, not just sprinkles, a hard, steady, drench you as you exit your car kind of rain.  It’s starting to make me cranky and it’s not lending itself well to bloggin’ since I am currently knitting something that’s dark … Continue reading →

Amanda tagged me for this little game a few days ago, but I just haven’t had time to do it.  Tonight, it’s a fun break from work and homework.  Here goes… 1.  Total amount of music files on your computer: 670 songs, 1.8 days, 2.57 GB 2. The last CD you bought was:  I can’t … Continue reading →

I finished Wavy while watching girly movies and eating treats with one of my best friends, who just learned to knit, and some of her friends who were knitting and crocheting.  It was so fun to hang out with other people who "get it".  Wavy made it’s debut yesterday and got lots of compliments.  I … Continue reading →

You won’t find me here, at least not until Sunday or Monday.  I am visiting a friend in Utah so my computer access is a bit limited.  Good news, though, she wants me to teach her how to knit!  So, I will return soon.  Don’t miss me too much. Continue reading →

Tonight was the New Orleans audition night on American Idol and I missed it.  I guess worse things have happened but I’m kinda bummed.  You gotta hate it when work gets in the way of guilty pleasure television.  Anne Marie and Carrie, did you see us??? No knitting today, I had some time sitting in … Continue reading →

No snow here, not that we’re surprised, but we did get a good enough cold front to make us want to stay indoors this weekend.  It was warm on Saturday but by Saturday evening, the temperature was dropping dramatically.  The weekend was great, complete with a trip to a coffee shop, a lunch at a … Continue reading →

Row Counter, How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways! Yes, I’m working on the Wavy scarf and my row counter is my new best friend.  In past projects, I would put the row counter on the needles and use it for the first few rows and then I would just forget to … Continue reading →
